Alibaba files to go public in the U.S.

[Mike]

Figured I would share since a lot of us use AliExpress. Just got a push notification on my phone from the NY Times app that Alibaba filed to go public in the U.S.

"to go public" ?? meaning they will sell to the public? or sell stock on the exchange? not following what you mean... is it a good thing, or a bad thing? lol

I want to know when they will start storing stuff inside the US so I can buy cameras cheap and get them in 2 days without chartering a concord.

Interesting indeed! Could be worth it.

Maybe this is the start of that. With Amazon's stock not doing great lately, perhaps this is the perfect opportunity for AE to gain more marketshare in the U.S.

I'm going to keep an eye on it and see how it plays out...I'm betting the prices go up a bit once popularity is gained in the USA...

That would blow.
